Subject: [Bug] setup regression #2
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2022 19:14:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pmfn5o2j.fsf@Rainer.invalid> (raw)
The release_2.91 comes with another regression that still puzzles me.
In a nutshell, the three commits that deal with setting up the groups
during / after installation
2022-08-27 Jon Turney Drop setting root_scope as a side-effect of read_mounts()
2022-08-16 Jon Turney Defer setting group until after All Users/Just For...
2022-08-16 Jon Turney Drop group change while running postinstall scripts
break existing installs in certain circumstances that are not yet
completely clear. The server installation @work (which uses exactly the
same scripting around the installation that I use for my build system
@home) changed from using the "Domain Users" group to "Administrators".
Additionally the previous access for "Everyone" has been removed and
instead SYSTEM is now part of the (Windows) ACL. In effect certain
files have become inaccessible to the normal users (unless they are aso
Administrators), in particular (this is the part that I still don't
understand) newly created symlinks can't be read by a normal user even
when the target is fully accessible. Even doing an ls on such a symlink
gets a "permission denied".
For the time being I've reverted the three commits and re-installed all
packages that I had updated since the new setup was rolled out. Except
for a handful of cache files for fontconfig (which I manually removed
and recreated) that cleared up the whole thing.
Regards,
Achim.
